Species Wild Status

This species is threatened by deforestation, although it seems to tolerate this somewhat better than most parrots. This it can do so long as there are some tall trees left.

Range:

Java and Bali, Indonesia.

Habitat:

Found up to 1450m (4756 ft) in forest, forest edge and swamp forest.

Wild Diet:

Feeds on nectar, fruit, figs, leaf buds and flowers.

Ecology and Behaviour:

Probably nomadic in response to food availability. Seen in pairs, singly or in small groups, with larger gatherings at flowering trees. Very visible in flight, but difficult to spot while foraging in treetop foliage. Birds very active, fluttering rapidly from one tree to the next.
